It's hard to mention Durham, NC, and not think of Duke. Then, of course, one's mind naturally gravitates to basketball because Duke is known for the sport and for Krzyzewskiville. Durham is home to Duke University, Duke University Hospital, Duke Medical School and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens - all located right by each other. Take off on the Durham Freeway in the Audi of your dreams and make your way there. Visit Duke Gardens located on the Duke University campus and enter into a world of absolute beauty and pure magic. Plan to make a day out of it because there is so much to see that you really don't want to skip out on anything - 55 acres to be exact!
Strike one. Strike two. Strike three. You'reeee out! Just down the road on the opposite side of the Durham Freeway sits the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Wow, what a fun time you can have there for all ages watching the Durham Bulls play ball. Whether you want to enjoy time with the family or if it's a date out, you're in for a time to remember. There's plenty to eat there at the ballpark if you're ready to get there, get seated and watch the game. If you have time to arrive early or eat after then game, then take your pick of the many restaurants nearby. There's the Tobacco Road Sports Café literally right there at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park or if you're in the mood for pizza, then walk over to Mellow Mushroom also located right by the ballpark. Other great food and drink options are nearby just down the road at Bull City Burger and Brewery, Dos Perros for Mexican food and even more.
